Dear Client,

Thanks for your question! I hope you are doing well. I will assist you in this matter.

Visit visas typically allow a 30-90-day stay with no universal nationality restrictions. The first-day overstay fine is AED 50, with an additional daily fine of AED 50 for visits and cancelled visas.

Overstayers must pay an exit permit costing AED 250-350 when leaving the country. No grace period exists, and fines start immediately after visa expiration. Always check current regulations, as immigration rules can change periodically.

Dear Questioner,

Currently, to apply for a visit visa, there should be a hotel booking and a security deposit to be shown. The duration will be 30 days or 60 days, depending on the visit visa you have obtained.

Even one day after the visit visa duration will lead to visa violations, including fines and absconding. There are no restrictions based on nationality.

The fine for overstaying a visit visa in the UAE is AED 100 for the first day and AED 50 for each subsequent day.

Dear Questioner,

Thank you for your inquiry regarding the regulations governing visit visas in the UAE.

Below is a detailed explanation of the relevant rules and penalties under UAE law:

1. Duration of Stay for Visit Visa Holders:

Typically, visit visa holders are allowed to stay in the UAE for 30 days, with the possibility of extending for an additional 30 days if required.

This extension can usually be done once, depending on the specific circumstances of the visit visa.

In some cases, a longer duration may be granted for certain nationalities or under special conditions.

2. Restricted Nationalities:

While most nationalities can apply for a visit visa to the UAE, there are some countries that may have restrictions based on security, diplomatic relations, or other factors.

However, it is essential to confirm the current list of restricted nationalities through the UAE immigration authorities, as these restrictions may change over time.

3. Fines for Overstaying on a Visit Visa:

First Day Fine: The fine for overstaying a visit visa in the UAE begins on the first day after the visa expires. The fine is typically AED 200 for the first day of overstay.

- Daily Fine: After the first day, a fine of AED 100 per day is charged for each additional day of overstaying the visit visa.

4. Fines for Overstaying a Cancelled Visa:

If the visit visa is cancelled and the individual stays beyond the grace period, the fine is also AED 200 for the first day and AED 100 per day for each additional day of overstay.

The grace period for a cancelled visa is generally 30 days, after which fines will be imposed.

It is important to ensure that your visit visa is either renewed or cancelled within the allowed time frame to avoid fines and legal complications.

If you have overstayed, we strongly recommend addressing the situation promptly to minimize the financial penalties and legal consequences.
